Reading Comprehension Difficulties

Reading Comprehension Difficulties is a reading-related learning difficulty characterized by a significant and persistent impairment in constructing meaning from written text—across word, sentence, and discourse levels—relative to age or educational expectations, typically stemming from weaknesses in language comprehension, background knowledge, or higher-order cognitive processes, with or without concurrent word-decoding problems.
